a 4 day camping trip to Mammoth/McGee Creek area provided awesomeness in the flower department, a bear snarfing my stuff at 1 am, a fall (got dizzy and passed out. The pup Murphy wasn’t much help and I ended up with my left leg completely swollen and bruised for 3 weeks post injury!), and an attempt to find the Crowley lake Columns.
Later I found out that water levels are so high this year from snow melt that the columns are back under water!
I was supposed to Volunteer for Tevis at Foresthill on the 17th...but then...
More recently...like on Friday at work my body was sabotaged with very odd rapid onset of chilling (no fever) extreme muscle aches, high white cell count (that was normal last week)and high heart rate. That landed me in the ER for 7 hours, CT scan of the abdomen an overnight stay in the hospital, and a short OR procedure. No cause found for the symptoms. I have a 14 day heart monitor on.
I’m resting at home today after realizing I wasn’t supposed to drive yesterday (but did, to go feed the ponies snacks)
Maybe by Labor Day weekend I’ll be back riding. Anyone want to go with me somewhere?
Sorry-below pics are out of order-what do you want from a girl with a concussion-it will keep YOU from being bored.

After my fall and before the swelling set in. 13 people at work asked me if I had fallen off of my horse! THAT would have been a better story than "no, I just turned around at my picnic table, blacked out and fell down!"
